No referrals for B-G trophy

[Lord]

Despite the sydney fiasco,india has refused to use the referral system in the ind-oz series. i think bcci is too scared by wat happened in sl.in this series referrals wud have helped india more bcoz of the spinners. wat say,guys?

BCCI sucks. It will only help India in the long run.

hope so but india has squandered a golden advantage

[DomainK]

Now we can never say that Australia gets advantage from umpiring.

[Lord]

yup hope it doesnt backfire

[SachDan]

am I the only one thinking not implying referrals in India is not such a bad thing for our team? anyways our spinners are smart enough to put pressure on umpires and get most decisions in their favour especially in home conditions..Australia doesn't possess any big threat with their spin department.so it'll be advantage team India on that count.

Did BCCI get feedback from the players after they came back from the Lankan tour on this?

Goddamnit. Where the F is that icon of the head banging against a brick wall when you need it?

I AM SURE that indian spinners will hit da pads more often than aussie pacers, so referals wud have been handy

and will get most decisions in their favour even if its a 50-50 one. referrals is here to stay but won't mind not using it for this series...we want that BG Trophy badly :D

Not sure why BCCI has refused to use it. I mean even if referral goes against India, everybody can clearly see that and then crib about it (just like we do when umpire decides against India). :-D.

[PaiN_KiLLeR]

After raising such a hue and cry about the umpiring in the previous series we have now refused to set things right. Spineless stuff by the BCCI and the players who have opposed it.

[yoda]

Now we can never say that Australia gets advantage from umpiring.

BCCI never bothered anyways and even the players have been quite mute (prolly because of the ICCI code of conduct, etc). It is us fans who have been getting upset and I guess will continue to be upset.

short term focus by bcci and players (if they didnt want referral system) This will backfire, and indian team will receive its usual quota of bad decisions costing us matches!!! No desi fan will be happy abt this no referrals for BG trophy (save maybe MM for charm of umpires).

[fineleg]

danra, did u forget sehwag lbw (inside edge off McG in blore?)

[cowboysfan]

bad decision and it will come back to haunt us-we could have used the referrals for our spinners where as the aussies have a nobody as their spinner.
